Red Box 1.35 Notice 3


March 1997


Red Box Operations Control agents under HP-UX 10

Introduction

HP-UX 10 runs version 4 of HP OpenView. At this version of OpenView, the location of OpenView directories and files used by the Red Box Operations Control agent has changed, preventing the Operations Control agent from reading OpenView events.

Correction

The following instructions assume that OpenView version 4 is configured to use its default file locations. If your site uses locations other than the defaults /var/opt/OV/sockets and /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/C, substitute the correct values as appropriate.

Create the following symbolic links:

From

To

Directory: /var/opt/OV/sockets

Directory: /usr/OV/sockets

File: /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/C/trapd.conf

File: /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf


To create the symbolic links, log into a user with sufficient permissions and enter:

ln -s /var/opt/OV/sockets /usr/OV/sockets

ln -s /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/C/trapd.conf /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf
